On the 16th Feb 08 I fractured both my heel bones (calcaneus), the left requiring surgery, where they reassembled the shattered bone, I am now bionic as I have 13 screws and a big plate inserted into my foot… I tell you what its painful, and right now the wound is the problem, taking what seems like donkeys year to heal.
The thing is I’m stuck in bed most the time, restricted to a wheel chair for getting around (I’ve got crutches but for very small distances) luckily I am staying at my parents house. They are being very kind and helpful, sometimes too helpful… so I’m spending a shit load of my time on my laptop and thought fuck it, I should put the effort and do my own blog. Hell I’m a freelance web desginer/developer and everyone else makes an effort, why not me now that I’m stuck in the position and can’t just go out and ride my bike, or be active as used to.
Dont worry I’ll be positive, I will be up and doing the things I used to, just with a bit of pain and a new perspective on life.
